A friend gave me this easy, low-fat chicken recipe years ago, and I've tweaked the spices to my family's tastes. I'm requested to make it at least twice a month. —Judi Guizado, Rancho Cucamonga, California

I made this recipe last night. The only difference was I used thighs instead of breasts. We think they have more flavor and are moister. I braised the chicken in olive oil until almost done. I did not use chili powder nor terrigon. I would never have thought of such a thing, definitely not Italian. I used a whole chopped small onion, 8 ounces of sliced muhrooms and two cans of Italian tomatoes. I poured all ingredients over chicken, covered and simmered for about thirty minutes. No corn starch, just let it cook until liquid is reduced. I adjusted the seasonings and then I baked it in the oven for about thirty minutes and sprinkled Mozarella (sp) cheese on top and baked it a few minutes longer to melt and brown the cheese. I served it over angel hair spaghetti with Caesar salad and sweet Italian bread. I definitely will do this again. My husband loved it and so did I.

I thought this was great, however I used chicken broth in place of the water & bouillon cubes. I've never liked the strong taste of them. Otherwise perfect!!

I made this this week. My husband and I didn't care for it. Won't make it again. I think it was the chili powder that gave this Itlalian Chicken a strange flavor.

Never mind chicken bouillon. There's a product called Better Than Bouillon and boy, is it ever! Once I found this, I never used bouillon cubes or granules or watered-down stock again! It comes in beef, chicken, ham, turkey (when you can find it so look way before Thanksgiving). It's made from roasting drippings and it is delicious.The herbs definitely need to be kicked up a lot in this recipe, basil orgegano, but watch out on tarragon-too much and you have a licorce flavor. Really, never heard of tarragon and chili powder with Italian so I left out all together. Use Roma diced tomatoes with roasted garlic-Contadina or Hunts? Chicken and rice need lots of help! Real onions, real garlic. No water please-plenty from crockpot.
